Do you know that Mark Lester didn't really sing in the film version. His voice was dubbed with the voice of the Producer's or Director's daughter (can't remember which one). He couldn't sing a note.
My favourite song is Consider yourself. Jack whotsiname was great. He was just turning his life around when he got throat cancer.
Davy Jones of the Monkees played the Dodger in the Broadway production before he joined the Monkees. There was a clip of it on YouTube a while ago.
